Welcome to the weird and wild world of Mensur fencing — the only sport where getting slashed in the face isn’t just accepted… it’s practically a badge of honour.
Forget everything you know about Olympic fencing. This old-school, razor-sharp tradition comes from German student fraternities, where young men stand perfectly still and swing swords at each other's heads — on purpose. Why? Tradition. Bravery. And maybe a touch of madness.
In this video, we take a stab at:
The bloody origins of Mensur fencing
Why the goal isn’t to win — it’s to stand your ground
The scar culture and how it became a symbol of toughness and honour
How this ritual still survives today, even in the age of smartphones and soy lattes
And yes — the crazy protective gear that looks like medieval cosplay gone rogue
So buckle up (and maybe put on a face shield), because this is one historical tradition that literally leaves a mark.
